The world of sports has been holding its breath since Hamlin collapsed on the field. The quiet part of the incident has been said by the host of The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show.
This is much more than a sports story. The story is about a labor issue.
The NFL will tell you what to do. We will look out for the people like him. You won't. The Bills owner is worth billions. On a recent episode of the show, Bush asked if the salaries of football players would be guaranteed if they knew they were going out there.
I don't care what you think or pray. He said to do the right thing. If I am going to pat Roger on his back for running this organization the way he does, I will be damned. It's like a criminal organization by the way. I'm really sick of it. I don't want to do that anymore.
Bush mentions that Hamlin hasn't played long enough to get a pension, how the league denies benefits to former players, and how much of the CTE settlement money has yet to be paid.
A quick search on the internet will show you a lot of the information that Bush spoke about, as many of these things fly under the radar, or people ignore them because they are so focused on betting on games or fantasy football. As we have learned that Hamlin is awake, has held hands with family members, and Facetime'd his team, it should be a reminder of where the players' union should draw a line in the sand.
The players forced the league to comply. The National Football League has stood on this for a long time. TroyVincent, the league's executive vice president of football operations, is out here doubling down on the denial that the league gave the Bills and Bengals five minutes to warm up before they were to resume Monday's game
The man said earlier in the week that he just wanted to be transparent. It was inappropriate, it was wrong, and it lacked compassion for the man who is still fighting for his life, who is still fighting for his life today. It was so out of place to think that we were thinking about coming back to play.
The only thing that mattered to me was the health and wellbeing of Damar and getting those coaches back to the locker room so they could look at those players and see who they are. There was a lot of hurt. It was important for us to communicate with the commissioner and everyone else.
The league and its players are being called liars by the network, as they stand by the fact that Joe Buck reported what the league told them.
The game is played by the National Football League. They don't want you to pay attention to the fact that the smoking gun is between them and a network, instead they want you to pay attention to the he- said/he- said between them and a network.
